Will those staying in isolation on Sheba returning from the Corona Ship from Japan be released prior to the end of the two-week period of isolation, and will the insulation continue at home? The Sheba hospital recently approached the Ministry of Health, seeking to consider the possibility of releasing further home isolation to the 9 residents of the isolation complex who returned from Japan and did not apply to Corona. Remember, the stayers arrived from Japan last Friday, and they have about six weeks left to end the two-week isolation period.

Meanwhile, the Health Ministry announced on Tuesday (Tuesday) that an Israeli from northern Israel, who recently returned from Italy and was hospitalized in Tel Hashomer Hospital after being found the carrier of the Corona virus - will be released from the hospital after two tests showed him a negative result.

However, it should be emphasized that some of the isolates themselves do not want to be released from the isolation at all, so as not to jeopardize their families, nor to attract unnecessary attention to them, as far as they are concerned. Some isolated families also fear that early release will cause panic in Eilat, so that despite Shiba's desire - they may remain in isolation during these three days.

Sheba filed the application in light of the change in the situation in the country, and the fact that many people returning from Italy, Thailand or Japan - are staying in home isolation if they are without symptoms, as is the case with patients in Japan. In addition, Sheba seeks to train the compound where the isolates were located, so that it can absorb about 30 patients, and another 30 patients in a nearby complex where there are now 10 corona patients, and a total of 60 isolation isolation areas will be expanded.

Prof. Arnon Afek Deputy CEO of Shiba: "This week we introduced to other hospitals the way Shiba is treated in the Corona patients. The rest of the hospitals are preparing, and transferring patients to other hospitals is a matter of pace. We are waiting for a stage where those staying in isolation who come from Japan will leave the isolation complex in Shiba and then in my estimation whoever comes to Shiba will be only symptomatic people. "

"Once residents of Japan are evacuated, adjustments will be made to the isolation complex outside Sheba and train them to absorb additional corona insulators. But I have no doubt that there will be more hospitals able to absorb corona patients."
